This might be the wrong place for this but idk who else to ask & it feels like a stupid question so here it is.
I am 25, wanting to go back to college (blew 4 years already, long story) now that I feel like I can handle it & have a sense of direction. I’m concerned it isn’t going to be doable now with trump, if I apply for financial aid and it gets gutted, idk the prospect of applying to college during this shit political landscape feels pointless. my question is, is it? Would it be a bad move or waste of time & energy to get into a college?
Short answer: This is worst weekend in your life to decide
Long answer:
Literally no one knows what is about to happen.
We might have a recession, in which case this is probably the best time for it
We might go into a depression, in which case what degree you’re going for matters greatly. You need something that will get you a job in a different kind of world, one where many degrees will be useless, skills you can use to work remotely overseas might be good, but it really depends what you’re going to be doing
The global economy might just collapse, in which case everyone should probably be picking up practical skills rather than going for higher education
Just wait and see until things stabilize… If it happens quickly, it’ll probably just be a recession… If not, all bets are off
